On July 3, join the cowboys and cowgirls on the horse barn lawn for a special Cowboy Social Hour before cheering on our Ranch athletes as they compete in events like roughstock riding, barrel racing and team roping during our ranch rodeo. Top it off with a barbeque on the Buckle Barn lawn featuring the freshest summer flavors in the West.

Independence Day kicks off in the early evening with a country carnival, including snacks, refreshments and games for children and adults. Meanwhile, adults can whet their appetite with a “Spirit of America” tasting. After feasting at Executive Chef Drage’s Flagstone Grill, dance to live music by Montana’s own shõ-down and watch the fireworks light up the Big Sky. See highlights from last year’s celebration below.
